Today's match will be about the performances on the field, but there is much work to be done off it if Barcelona are to take full advantage of their summer overhaul. It figures to be a busy day for the Pumas shot-stopper between the sticks. 4th min: GOAL, BARCELONA! It's a fast start for the hosts as Robert Lewandowski gets Barcelona on the board first with a spectacular opener. 55 mins to kick: The Barcelona lineup is in. There is just a week left to go before their campaign begins, and the club's wage bill is unsustainable as-is, La Liga has determined. 24th min: Chance, Barcelona! Every Barcelona attack seems to produce a great opportunity on goal, and this time only fate keeps the ball from finding the back of the net. It was total and complete domination from Barcelona in the first half, dominating possession and carving the Pumas defense to shreds. Even when Barcelona took their foot off the gas and sat back, Pumas had to fight hard just to string a few passes together. 49th min: GOAL, BARCELONA! After a furious start to the first half, the hosts have begun the same in the second with reinforcements on the pitch. It rolled to Memphis on the end line, but the Pumas goalkeeper is there to stop the chance. 46th min: The second half is under way, with a host of changes for the home side. The ugliest goal yet in a litany of defensive nightmares from the visitors at the Camp Nou.

It's a good effort but the German gets down well to push it out for a corner. Barcelona face Pumas in the traditional Trofeo Joan Gamper today but Umtiti will not be involved. Alves sends in the corner from the left. I’m confident and I’m going to show all I can do on the pitch. Pumas have nothing to lose and go back up the other end and win a second corner in as many minutes. As we approach half-time, it remains 4-0 to the home side. De Jong's corner is eventually cleared and Barca start again from the halfway line. Aubameyang fires it across goal and it goes out for a goalkick. Aubameyang crosses from the right. Piqué gets up highest but his header goes wide of the Pumas goal. Will he be a Barcelona player this season? A good problem for Xavi to have.

Barca made seven changes at the break and two of the substitutes combined in the 49th minute to make it five. Aubameyang then hit the bar and saw another chance deflected over before De Jong found the net late. Lewandowski returned the favour soon after and then, via a brilliant flick, sent Pedri through for his second goal in the 20th minute.

FC Barcelona 6-0 Pumas UNAM: Things are looking very good! (FC Barcelona)

Goals from Pedri (2), Lewandowski, Dembélé, Aubameyang and Frenkie de Jong win the Joan Gamper trophy.

If Gerard Piqué had scored from that back-heel it would have been something special, Auba banged one onto the bar, and eventually it was down to Frenkie de Jong to slot in the goal that matched Barça’s tally in the only previous meeting between these sides, a 6-1 win for the Catalans back in 1963. New signing Kessie slipped in the killer pass for Aubameyang to score with practically his first touch of the ball. Xavi made a number of changes at half-time, and yet the eleven still looked very, very solid indeed. The talk among Pumas fans in the build-up was all about repeating their heroics at the Trofeo Bernabéu in 2004 and becoming the first team ever to win both the Real Madrid and Barça preseason tournaments. Pedri had provided the assist for that one and barely a minute later the roles were reversed. Robert Lewandowski only needed two minutes to net his first Blaugrana goal, and it was a brilliantly executed finish.
